June was an amazingly busy month, filled with wonderful brides-to-be! I have lots of pics to work on and upload in the next few weeks so keep checking back or sign up for updates! In the meantime, check out some of the behind the scenes pics of Emily's Big Day. For the full set including before and after photos, see the gorgeous bride on artistrhi.com.ARTIST TIP: Use lipliner to trace the lips, alter the shape slightly (if desired) and act a as a base for lipstick application. A couple of my fave lipliners are MAC's Cremesticks ($16 CAD) and Revlon's Colorstay (approx. $6 CAD and pictured above). The colour of these lipliners glide on creamy, which make them perfect for filling in the entire lip without dragging the skin.

Photos of the gorgeous bride, Agata, have now been added to artistrhi.com! Other than being blessed with obviously amazing genes, a couple of products that were key in achieving Agata's natural beauty bridal look were:

1. L'oreal Liquid Eyeliner
Longlasting and waterproof - this liquid liner is a bride's best friend! Keep the line tight (rather than thick) to the lashes for more of a naturally enhanced look that will still make your eyes pop.

2. Quo lashes (available at Shoppers Drug Mart)
Agata's look was all about lashes - we used Quo lashes in #801 for a full-on fringe to frame her beautiful eyes. I'm a huge fan of Quo lashes (good quality, amazing pricepoint of $6 CDN!). I opt for the ones that are more of a natural length when it comes to my bridal clients.

3. Duo Lash Glue
Your lashes will stay put day into night with this super eyelash adhesive. I've tried other brands, but the consistent performance of Duo's Lash Glue puts it at the top of my list!

ARTIST TIP: Liquid liner works well to conceal the false eyelash band. Apply the liquid liner before the false lashes are on so you can access all the tiny gaps in the lashline. (Once the lashes are on, it becomes more difficult to fill in the tiny gaps along the eyelash line). After the false eyelashes have been applied, add more liquid liner to conceal the band and perfect the line (see photo above).

To achieve Jackie's smoldering look, try these key products:
1. MAC Paint Pot in Blackground - I layered this black cream eyeshadow atop black powder eyeshadow on the outer corners of the eye to increase longevity of the eye make-up application. Dark colours become more obvious (than light colours) when they crease, so be sure to apply a base of neutral cream eyeshadow or your concealer atop the eyelids to help the application last longer.

2. Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown - I've preached about the kit essential factor of this pencil before, but with more intense eye make-up, a well-polished brow is necessary. For Jackie's brows, the pencil was used to refine the shape and add balance to the face. Read more on Rimmel's Eyebrow Pencil here.

3. Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara - Curl those eyelashes for an eye-opening effect, and add a couple of coats of Lash Stiletto to take your lashes to new heights. I'm a big fan of switching up my mascara and trying out new all the new ones that hit the market, but Lash Stiletto has been a staple for a few months now. See the Product Review on Lash Stiletto here.

Finish the look by adding a bit of blush and a neutral pink coloured lipstick and/or gloss. The aim here is to keep the rest of the look light, so as not to detract attention away from those smoky eyes!

I added a couple of photos to the Julie + Trevor e-session set that allow a closer view of the make-up (and Julie's stunning features!)
